FOR Q AND A'S WRITE THIS GUY: distortvancouverpunk@gmail.com

Here's a track from the split 7" with WARVICTIMS, which was incidentally released by CHARGED//DISTRORTED! 

POST DISTORT VANCOUVER SHOW @ THE ASTORIA

First off, thanks to every motherfucker who came out. Except for one dude from Edmonton. WOLF BRIGADE killed it, as did every other band. There's a lot of sentimental shit i'd like to say about the scene, distort, the punks, etc... But right now i'm feeling the impending clutch of a long hangover, so i'll save this for later.
In the meantime, come to the Astoria at 769 E. Hastings.
Punk DJ's, and these bands:

ASILE
BISHOPS GREEN
HOOPSNAKE
KOSZMAR

AND POSSIBLY OTHERS

$5. show starts at 9pm.

bullshit bullshit fucking bullshit

Another change of Distort.
Noon sharp at the Alf House is: WARCRY, MIDNITE BRAIN, FRENZY, SYSTEMATIK.
THEN AT Funky Winkerbeans:
DOORS 230PM
SHOW 3PM

CRIMSON SCARLET 3PM -320PM
OUST 330PM - 350PM
DERAS KRIG 4PM-420PM
DEATHCOUNT 430PM-450PM

SKABIIS 5PM-520PM
NIGHTNURSE 530PM-550PM
ASILE 6PM-620PM
BELLICOSE MINDS 630PM-650PM
WOLF BRIGADE 7PM - 8PM!!

3 day bracelets still work to get in, as well if you got a band for yesterday.
We're still making punk fucking happening in this city, despite total fucking shit heads (the 1% of punks in this city, even though this tard is Albertan).
Cheers Wendythirteen Thrashers for saving us.
Also, tomorrow will be all local bands that didn't get to play at the Astoria Hastings, plus other bands who haven't split town yet.

OKAY. DISTORT. FOR THOSE LOOKING AT THE INTERNET RIGHT NOW. WARCRY, FRENZY, AND TEROKAL ARE ABOUT TO PLAY AT FUNKY WINKERBEINS. IF YOU HAVE A DISTORT WRIST BAND, IT'S FREE.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WOLF BRIGADE WILL PLAY ZOO ZHOP, AND MOST LIKELY OUST AND CRIMSON SCARLET.
TOMORROW, NOON SHARP AT THE ALF HOUSE (OUTSIDE): WARCRY, FRENZY, MIDNITE BRAIN, SYSTEMATIK.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER, ALL REMAINING OUT OF TOWN BANDS, INCLUDING WOLF BRIGADE, WILL PLAY THE ASTORIA.
FUCK VANCOUVER. AND FUCK THE MOTHERFUCKER WHO SMASHED A WINDOW OF A BMW, HALF A BLOCK FROM ONE OF THE ONLY VENUES IN THE CITY THAT GIVES PUNKS A PLACE TO PLAY MUSIC AND HANG OUT.

I'M NOT ONE TO START INTERNET SHIT, BUT IF YOU KNOW WHO THIS ASSHOLE IS, LET HIM KNOW THAT THE PUNKS WON'T TOLERATE HIS GG ALLIN BULLSHIT.
Thanks to Wendythirteen Thrashers and David R, and The staff of Iron Road.
PS Please spread the word about these shows tonight/tomorrow.

-Team Distort
ANTI C.R.E.A.M.
(Anti Cimex Rules Everything Around Me)

Distort update.

So, i had the 3 days all booked with Submerged Studios for the last 4 or 5 months. Last week i had a meeting with them, where they informed me that they can only do 1 out of the 3 days...
Needless to say i got a little fucking nervous having to find a new venue with a months notice. Enter, IRON ROAD STUDIOS. These dudes stepped in and offered me their space for punk prices, and seem straight up and easy to deal with.
So there you go. it'll be a little more cramped, but isn't that part of the fun of being at a fest with all your best fucking friends?

After that hic-cup, tickets are printed now, and will be available starting tomorrow (Wednesday August 22nd). Vancouver people can purchase them at the benefit show at the Astoria (see flyer a couple posts ago), and everyone else can order them from me at distortvancouver@hotmail.com.
The tickets are for the 3 day pass only, and limited to 70, so act fast...

Schedules and new flyer(s) will be up soon.

Up the punks.

DISTORT UPDATE...

So, unfortunately MERDOSO and XEROXIDE are now off the bill for distort. But don't trip, we are working on getting some supreme replacements... i won't blow the load and tell you who until they completely confirm, but stay posted.
Also, here are some other gigs happening around Distort...

THIS UPDATE HAS BEEN TYPED UP WHILE LISTENING TO THE COMES. STAY PUNK, AND SEE YOU DICKS IN SEPTEMBER.

OH YA, AND IF YOU NEED TO WRITE, DO IT AT DISTORTVANCOUVER@HOTMAIL.COM... YA, I SWITCHED BACK. GMAIL IS A FUCKING   FARCE!

FIRST NEW UPDATE IN FOREVER

i've come to realize, i hate spending time on computers, posting dumb shit, reading dumb shit, and listening to crappy mp3's of third rate crust bands... That being said, i gotta remember, the internet is a rad tool for letting punks around the world know about the crazy awesome shit Vancouver has been up to...
So, here is my update to let the punk world know what's going on........

 ^This is SKRAELING's first show ever. They are from the Sunshine Coast, BC, and feature Josh from AFTER THE BOMBS fame, playing guitar and vocals. i heard them practice a few months ago, and it's rip roaring crust that will make the back of your head turn to dreadlocks.
KOSZMAR is a band most Vancouver punks should know about, featuring the drummer from AFTER THE BOMBS, and members of SYSTEMATIKK and VIOLENT NUN/ROC/ETC. They play blazing fast d-beat raw noise, with vocals in Polish (not that you'd be able to tell unless you read the insert on their demo tape... Speaking of which, they have a really good demo tape. Write to me here and i can probably hook you up).

^Okay, i'm a fuck up. it's BIOCIDO, not BIOCIDOS. And it's SKABIIS, not RABIIS. Two different shitty things to have... i think i inadvertently changed the name because the real one contains the word SKA. Anyways, there is no ska here on this night!!! Google all these bands, and listen to their sick shit. ABSURDIST is the best metal band in the city... Because they are the only punks doing it here. Total classic stench death metal. They have a demo too, though i can't tell you what it sounds like cuz those bastards never gave me one, even though i did artwork for it.

That is it for this post. Next post.... info for DISTORT VANCOUVER FEST VOLUME 8!!!!

SHOW SHOW SHOW!!!!

i don't think anyone cares or noticed, but it's been a while since i updated this thing. i guess i've been real busy, and this time not with punk stuff. i went to Mexico for 5 weeks, then spent 2 weeks going between Vancouver and LA. Pretty rad. Thanks to all new and old friends who helped Katie and i get drunk/high/shelter/food/friendship along the way. Anyway, enough of this emo shit. Come to this show:

Also, i got a few new records in my "distro". Not much in the wholesale department, but if ya wanna see the list, e-mail me at distortvancouverpunk@gmail.com . Such hits include BI-MARKS, AGHAST, CONTROPETERE, CRASHBOX, PUTRID FEVER, MISERY, ARCTIC FLOWERS and much more.
Fuck you guys, i'm going to bed now... and dream about upping the punks.
